NATO has never been such a strong / day

In his address, the Minister stated that the Baltic States and Poland would soon withdraw from the Ottawa Convention, which will increase the defense capabilities of the region. The location of Polish troops in Latvia, on the other hand, points to Poland’s solidarity with the Baltic States, as well as taking responsibility against NATO’s allies.

The Polish minister emphasized that the Polish contingent will remain here, and that NATO has undergone significant changes in recent years, which made the organization stronger. « NATO has never been so strong. We will protect NATO’s borders and continue to improve our defense capabilities, » the Polish minister said.

Andris Sprūds (P), the Minister of Defense of Latvia, said that there is now a challenging time to fight every day to protect democracy.

Ukraine is also fighting for the country, and the West must continue to support this country, the Latvian Minister of Defense added.

Sprud also emphasized that Latvia would continue to invest in defense and in cooperation between NATO allies. The presence of NATO soldiers in Latvia means that people’s lives are safer and calmer.

Sprud told reporters at a press conference that Latvia was closely linked to Poland and that will continue to be. Both countries have a similar understanding of the security situation in the world, he said.

He also emphasized that Latvia is ready to strengthen links in the military industry and Latvia and Poland have great potential in the industry.
